/**
 * Base class for custom fields handlers
 *
 * This handler provides callbacks for field configuration form and also allows to add the fields to the instance editing form
 *
 * Every plugin that wants to use custom fields must define a handler class:
 * <COMPONENT_OR_PLUGIN>\customfield\<AREA>_handler extends \core_customfield\handler
 *
 * To initiate a class use an appropriate static method:
 * - <handlerclass>::create - to create an instance of a known handler
 * - \core_customfield\handler::get_handler - to create an instance of a handler for given component/area/itemid
 *
 * Also handler is automatically created when the following methods are called:
 * - \core_customfield\api::get_field($fieldid)
 * - \core_customfield\api::get_category($categoryid)
